Hi I've not been around much recently, my dad whose disabled , had a fall at home and broke his shoulder, and was admitted about 10 days ago, to hospital he is currently unconscious and has kidney failure, we've been told he won't last much longer , and I'm on here as I'm trying to get a bit of respite as were doing a 24 hour bedside vigil , i know as my dad says "we're all in the queue" but it's so sad seeing him this way, I just wondered if any other lifers had been in a similar position, the doctors have been proved wrong in that they thought he would be gone on Monday , he's too fragile to be moved to a hospice, I just don't know how much longer this is going to go on for.
Dad was a season ticket holder , and I used to love taking him to the Valley, he came up to old Trafford for the quarter final of the fa cup, as well as Newcastle away midweek , when Kenny Dalglish was manager, it was his first game I think, sorry for waffling on it's helping me take my mind off stuff.

No doubt was the most difficult time of my life.
Hang in there & stay strong. Unfortunately, this probably comes to nearly all of us.

Missed your comments on the statbank and really hope your back soon and able to tell your dad about the game
MIA, I was trying to think of something considered and insightful that you would find helpful, but instead will have to settle for sending best wishes.
Hope the lads can deliver this Saturday and onwards for yours and your dads sake

Can only wish you and your family well at this most difficult time.
So MIA and DM (edit)- hang in there but this will be a very difficult time. In my mum's case she hung on for about 2 months after the initial diagnosis and the doctors had said she would last 'weeks'. In my missus' dads case he was diagnosed in the middle of September and died on October 18. The doctors usually know the signs and get it right. I'm finding out that as you get older these things just come along and bite you on the arse.
This place can certainly help as I've found over the past couple of days
We wish you and your family the best.
If the answer is no to these surely there is a little hope... All the best wishes coming your way my thoughts are with you and your family MIA and you too DaveMehmet. I'll pray for you both xxx
On a similar, but not quite so terminal note, i am flying to Australia next week to visit my father in law who has just had a stroke.
The older we get the more frequent these occasions become, unfortunately.
Live and hope for the day sometimes miracles can happen , just look at john hartson for evidence of that , all is not lost all the time ,
Good luck and god bless
Dad slipped away peacefully at 1am this morning, The last time we spoke where we could actually hold a brief conversation I asked him whether I should/ shouldn't go to take my wife and 2 lads to the Recent Fulham FA cup game, he said ' go and enjoy yourself' which summed him up , he always was more interested in other peoples well being rather than his own, despite having a horrendous medical history. I'd like to think the bouncy bouncy at Fulham was for him , I don't know yet if I'll be up for Sheff United at home on Saturday, but would love to think the players will put in another shift as they have done all season long and best Sheffield United.
Bye dad love you , thanks for being the best, catch up with you in glory.
